LEAST M (Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride 5 mg + Montelukast Sodium 10 mg Tablets)

Description

DESCRIPTION:
Least M is a fixed-dose combination of Levocetirizine Dihydrochloride 5 mg and Montelukast Sodium 10 mg, used for the effective management of allergic rhinitis, seasonal allergies, and asthma-related allergic symptoms. This combination helps relieve symptoms such as sneezing, runny nose, nasal congestion, itching, watery eyes, and breathing difficulty caused by allergies.

Levocetirizine is a second-generation antihistamine that works by blocking the action of histamine, a natural substance responsible for causing allergic symptoms. It provides long-lasting relief from nasal and non-nasal allergy symptoms with minimal drowsiness.

Montelukast is a leukotriene receptor antagonist that works by blocking the effects of leukotrienes, inflammatory chemicals released during allergic reactions. It helps reduce inflammation in the airways, relieves nasal congestion, and prevents asthma symptoms triggered by allergens or exercise.

Together, these two agents provide comprehensive control of both upper and lower respiratory allergic symptoms, improving overall quality of life and respiratory comfort.

USES:

• Management of allergic rhinitis (seasonal and perennial)
• Relief from nasal congestion, sneezing, and itchy/watery eyes
• Supportive therapy in asthma and exercise-induced bronchospasm
• Treatment of chronic allergic conditions affecting the nose, throat, and airways

MEDICINAL BENEFITS:

• Provides dual action — antihistaminic and anti-inflammatory
• Offers effective and long-lasting relief from allergic symptoms
• Helps prevent asthma attacks associated with allergies
• Minimizes the need for additional medications in combined allergic and respiratory conditions
• Well-tolerated with minimal side effects
